SOA Outbound FTP connection backend(Connection pool?/Data Source?).

Max L. Bray

Hi,

We are having difficulties connecting our SOA application to an external FTP server using the SOA FTP Adapter. I spoke to some resources on my end and we seem to think we need to create a new data source and connection pool in WebLogic in order to get the connection out. Could someone provide some guidance on how to achieve an outbound FTP connection from SOA? I looked at the FTP adapter Oracle docs and couldn't find anything on the backend configurations. I can provide more details if necessary.

Hi Max,

As you want to connect a FTP server, you just need to create a ftp server connection pool, no need to create any data source for this.

just go to admin console--> deployments--ftpAdapter--> configuration tab-->outbound connection pools-->create new with all the name, host, port etc and save it --> then again go to deployments--> then select ftpadapter and update it and activate changes.

for your reference:

Data source is generally required for database, AQ, Apps adapter etc cases.
